This treatise, which is dedicated ‘ad illustrissimum principem H[umfre-

The present MS. appears to assign the authorship of the roe to Richard
of Hampole, in the following rubric (fol. 200 6):
Explicit quidam tractatus super Pater noster, secundum Ricardum
Hampor qui obiit a.p, 1984 [7% 1348: cf. above, Dd. 1. 1, ὃ 21.
After which is added :

A quarto, on vellum, of 136 leaves, each page containing about
38 lines, neatly written in a hand of the x11th century. The

Tue Boox or CERNE.
The body of the book (No. I.) is the relic of some local saint, which was
afterwards preserved in the Abbey of Cerne in Dorsetshire ; the other por-
tions (Nos. II. and III.) were put with it long afterwards. One Ethelwald
was Bp of Sherborne in the vmith century; and St Edwold (not a Bp) was
the traditional founder of the Abbey in the xth.
I. 99 leaves, from 18 to 20 lines in a page, handwriting
Anglo-Saxon of the viith or rxth century, with erasures and
corrections of the x11th, and sidenotes of the x1vth.
Liser Erneitwatpt Eptscoprr.
This consists of four parts, of which Part 1 (ff. 1—41, sign. a—e) con-
tains the ‘ Passio (et Resurrectio) Domini’ from the four Gospels, followed
by a long prayer headed ‘Alma Oratio.’ The text is very close to that of .
the Cod, Amiat., and each Passio has a frontispiece and illuminated heading.
F. 1 is lost, but f 2a (2b is the frontispiece to St Matthew) contains the
conclusion of some directions concerning prayer, in Anglo-Saxon, in the
original handwriting. F. 21a (21 ὃ is the frontispiece to St Luke) con-
tains a Latin acrostic giving the words AEDELVALD EPISCOPVS.
6 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS.
Part 2, ff. 42—51, sign. f: 14 morning hymns and prayers, of which
No. 4, headed ‘ Hanc luricam loding cantavit ter in omne die,’ is the lorica
of Ladkenus or Lathacan Scotigena, which so troubled Mone and Daniel ;
but this copy supplies an interlinear and contemporary A.S. gloss for all the
hard words, besides a xuth century gloss (also A.S.) for the greater part of

This MS. coincides in the minutest details with a Pontifical of the same

it omits the Consecratio Regis which the Trin. Coll. MS. contains.
From the above group of saints, especially as 5, Adeldrytha’s name is in
large letters, it seems reasonable to suppose that this pontifical belonged to
the Church of Ely, which is dedicated to S. Adeldrytha (or, as it is usually,
8. Etheldreda) and 5. Peter, while SS. Sexburga and Wihtburga were her
sisters, and Ermenhilda closely connected with her—they are represented
together, discussing the removal of 8. Etheldreda’s body, in one of the sculp-
tures in Ely Cathedral.

On the first page of the MS. are memoranda that this book was judi-
cially produced upon three several occasions, in 1630, 1638, and 1680.
Of Anthony Harison, who made this collection, the following particulars
are chiefly given by himself in different places in the MS. He was born
at Over, in Cambridgeshire, 13 Nov. 1563. In 1603, being then Solicitor
and Attorney by patent to the University of Cambridge, he was appointed
secretary to Dr Jegon, Bp of Norwich, and went with him to the palace at
Norwich. He describes himself as collector of the tenths of the Bishoprick,
and he held the office of Coroner within the liberties of the see for the 3
years immediately preceding 1608, when, in consequence of a suit in the
Star Chamber, he resigned it. He was afterwards instituted to the Rectory
of Catfield in Norfolk (according to Blomefield, in 1609), and probably died
in 1638, as his successor was instituted in that year. The following obser-
vation of his own explains the origin of this collection: ‘I have from tyme
to tyme for the space of 30 yeares paste bene a diligent observer and pre-
server of all matters which did concerne the Bp of Norwich, wheresoever I
found them, in print or manuscript.’ MS. p.420. Some collections of
Harison relating to the See of Norwich are among Tanner's MSS. in the
Bodleian Library. See Cat. Cod. MSS. Bibl. Bodl. Pars tv.

tonian MS. (See Cooper's Account of the Public Records, I. 283.) This
very valuable MS. does not appear to have been collated upon the occasion.
It differs in a few instances from the printed copy, chiefly in the arrange-
ment, and appears to agree more nearly with the Cottonian MS.; the words
‘concordat cum Registro Pape’ (the title by which that MS. was known)
are written in an ancient hand at the end of some of the totals. Two-leaves
are wanting at the beginning, which contained the greater part of Canter-

Part V. ff. 52—146.
Probably the original ‘Nigrum Registrum :’ consists of 19 quires of 4
sheets each, except the 4th quire, which has 3, and the 10th, which has 1, the
first leaf of which is cancelled.
The first 3 and 1st leaf of the 4th contain Papal Bulls beautifully writ-
ten in a hand of Hen. II.’s reign. Titles and marginal notes in red ink.
The 4th is filled up with Bulls of Nicholas III., in John de Northwold’s
time, in a contemporary hand, and records relating to the Mint in Ed. II.’s
reign, and Abbat Richard’s time.
The next 6 contain principally Charters of Kings and Benefactors in the
same hand and style as the first 3. Some Anglo-Saxon deeds are inserted in
a different style.
The last 3 contain extracts from Domesday Book and the feudal Book of
Abbat Baldwin : on the last 3 leaves occur deeds of various dates.
On the top of f. 52 is written, ‘Nigrum Registrum,’ in the same hand as
the paging.

5 quires of 4 sheets each, except the last which has 6 sheets, of which
the 3rd and 9th leaves have been cancelled.
The first 5 leaves contain deeds of Abbat Hugo’s time in the same hand
as the last two parts. Spaces were left for titles, and insufficient ones are
inserted in a hand of perhaps the 15th century. Better ones have been
here given from other MSS.
Then follow 109 deeds in the same hand entirely of Abbat Sampson’s
time.

278 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS,
The Court was held in the Parish Church of Tredington, or in the Chapel
of St Edmund, Shipston-on-Stour, by the Rector of Tredington, who was
Judge Ordinary, or by his Official, in the presence of a notary publick or
two clergymen in his stead. It took cognizance of matters testamentary,
the payment of tithes and Church-rates, cases of fornication and slander, and
the usual questions pertaining to Diocesan Ecclesiastical Courts, and had
power by custom to empannel a jury, but had no authority (as appears by
a memorandum on f. 1) to grant marriage-licences.
These are the original Records, which were written upon loose quires
and have been subsequently formed into a volume. They are not continuous,
and of this collection some of the leaves have been lost and others misplaced.

version of the Chronicon of Eusebius, to αν. 824; from that date to a.p.
813, extending to f. 68, upon the Chronicle of Sigebertus Gemblacensis ; it
then incorporates Archbishop Turpin'’s History of Charlemagne, to f. 94;
from a.p. 815 to a.p. 1112 it reverts to the Chronicle of Sigebert, whose death
is recorded in a.p. 1113, on f. 109 6, where the writer tells us that from
that date to the conclusion (‘ jusques a nos temps’), a.p. 1306, he has com-
piled his history from various sources.
On the fly-leaf at the end is written the name of H. Langley, in an

They contain the various readings from the ancient Proctors’ Books,
and appear to have been collated by the Rev. Adam Wall, who prepared
the copy for the edition printed by the University in 1785, as his figures in
pencil occur on many of the pages. (See Mm. v. 53—54.) They differ in
some degree from that Collection, as will be seen from the following enume-
ration of the contents of the volumes.
Vou. I. ‘Statuta Antiqua.’ The words ‘in ordinem redacta,’ in the
title of the printed copy, are here omitted. See Preface to the Statutes
printed in Documents Univ. and Coil. (1852) 1. 806. ᾿

Book.’ This occupies a later position in the printed copy, at p. 518.

This is an uncollated copy of the letter found amongst the papers seized
by order of the Attorney General in the Jesuits’ house, in Clerkenwell, in
1628. . MS. copies of it are in MS. Harl. 1323, 8 and 3786, 4, and in the
State Paper Office. It was printed in 1643 for Ralph Rounthwait, and
portions of it are given in Prynne’s Hidden Workes of Darkenes, pp. 89, 90,
and in Rushworth, I. 474—476. In 1852 it was edited by J. G. Nichols,
F.S.A., for the Camden Society, in an account of ‘The Discovery of the
Jesuits’ College at Clerkenwell,’ Camden Miscellany, Vol. 1. Mr Nichols
inclines to the belief that the letter is ‘a political imposture,’ and in a fur-

the author of it was Sir John Maynard, brother to the first Lord Maynard,
and then M.P. for Calne.

A small quarto, on parchment, of the xvth century. There
are 34 lines in a page, and a good margin, with headings inserted
in a hand of the xvirth century. It is paged throughout in the
same hand as these insertions. 212 pages.
‘Gesta Reaum Ane orum a tempore Brut usque ad in-
clitum Recem Henricum sextum sub compendio ex veridicis
auctoribus collecta, solamque veritatem explanantia, &c. Col-
lectore Henrico de Huntyngdon.’
The author’s Psendo-name is in a later hand, apparently imitating the
original. The same chronicle is No. 493 in the*Lambeth library. It ends
with the παν th year of Henry VI. 5
Begins :
Britannia major que nunc Anglia dicitur...
Ends:
...idem rex [Scotie] a suis miserabiliter occiditur.
On the first leaf is written, W. Darell dedit Gulielmo Wooddo, 1562 ;
and on the last leaf, Gulielmus Wooddus possidet, 1562.
Mm. v. 21.
A quarto, on vellum, containing ff. 457, in double columns of
29 lines in each column. There are rich illuminated borders, and
very beautifully executed initial letters. Executed in 1489 at
Horta, in Fayal, one of the Azores. Catchwords occur after
every 10th leaf; the Kalendar and first leaf of the Psalter are
lost.
‘BrEVIARIUM SECUNDUM RITUM SANCTE RoMANE ECCLESIE.
After 3 blank leaves, the Psalter begins, f. 4, in the middle of Ps. ii. 8,
‘hereditatem tuam et possessionem tuam,’ ending f. 70, and is followed by
the Hymns ‘O lux beata Trinitas,’ ‘ Te lucis ante terminum,’ &c.; and after
two blank leaves the Breviary begins with a rich border, and the arms of
Portugal (whence it seems probable this MS. was executed for the marriage
of Alphonso, son of John 11., which took place in Nov. 1489), and the rubrick
In nomine domini ihesu ejusque genitricis virginis marie. Amen:

This is followed, f. 263, by the Proprium Sanctorum, beginning with
S. Saturninus, and ending, f. 419, with 5. Elziarius, a confessor of the third
order of 8. Francis. After a blank, the Commune Sanctorum begins f. 421,
and in f. 446 the ‘Ordo Officii Beate Virginis Marie.’
In ἢ 451 begins the ‘Officium defunctorum,’ and in f. 454, the ‘Ordo ad
benedicendum mensas per totum annum.’ In f. 456 a later hand has written
a service for S. Jerome’s day. On the inside of the cover are written verses
and a prayer to be used by whoever enters ‘ quis locus in quo habet manere.’

A small quarto, on vellum, of 54 leaves, in double columns,
each column containing about 25 lines, neatly written in a very
early hand, which may perhaps be referred to the eleventh cen-
tury. Many leaves are in bad condition, The title is written
in Dr Bentley’s hand, and the MS. is no doubt a mere frag-
ment. A few early notes are written in the margin.

amount and the interest to be received from it [generally 8 per cent.], with

instances a condition is attached that a certain number of masses [written in
cipher] shall be said for the benefactor. The names of persons and establish-
ments throughout are written in cipher, for which the Roman numerals are
used. In the last entry the name of Mr John Jennings was inadvertently
written in full and afterwards erased, but incompletely, and the cipher
written above. This Jennings (al. Gennings) revived the order of the En-
glish Franciscans at Douay and became their first Superior about the year

From Dr Askew’s sale, 1785. ἢ. 613.
A MS. slip in Askew’s hand indicates the places in Savile’s edition where
the contents of the MS, are printed.
2552 Nn. 1. 23.
A thick folio, on parchment, of 273 leaves, in double co-
lumns, each column containing 28 lines, well written in a hand
which may be referred to the xith or xirth century. From
fol. 248 to the end the MS. is written in a rather later hand,
probably of the x11th century. The first two leaves of the MS.
have been lost, but are now very neatly supplied (in bombyx
paper) by a hand of the xvith or xvirth century. The capital
letters are slightly ornamented in an archaic style, and a few
ornamentations occur at the heads of the treatises. The ὁ sub-
script (expressed in the following extracts) is either written
adscript in this MS. or omitted altogether: the accents and
breathings are often very faulty. The pagination after fol. 230
* is erroneous, being followed by fol. 232, where however nothing
is wanting: it is here retained notwithstanding. The MS. has
been much injured by damp.

The MS. wants two or three lines, which have been torn off: the reverse
of the leaf however being blank, it is clear that nothing more is wanting.
Dr Farmer has written at the beginning that “this book was a present
from Lord Shelburne to the University Library, in return of a compliment
paid him by the principal Librarian, who, on his earnest request, gave up
to him a MS. purchased at Dr Askew’s auction.”
On the first inserted blank leaf (of those of bombyx papa) Askew has
written : ‘The works of Gregory, Archbishop of Constantinople, wrote about
600 years ago;’ and below this Porson has added, ‘ Basilii Magni Homilia in
sanctam Christi Generationem.’

folio. Another edition, in common type, is in preparation by the Rey.
F. H. Scrivener.
The Greek text is cited in the editions as D, the Latin asd. As
the book lies open, the Greek occupies the left, and the Latin the right
hand page, The ἀναγνώσματα are marked at the side in a later hand.
The volume once contained (1) the Gospels (SS. Matthew, John, Luke,
Mark), (2) the Catholic Epistles (ending with the three Epistles of
8. John), of which however only the Jast page now remains, (3) the Acts
of the Apostles, followed probably by the rest of the New Testament,
but all after ἃ, ‘... adsistans et consentiens’ (Acts xxii. 20), and D,
‘ ...améotnoay ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ᾽ (Acts xxii. 29), is now wanting.
The quires consist of 4 sheets, or 8 leaves, each, except the one
signed AA, which has but 3 sheets, or 6 leaves. The original signatures
may still be seen at the foot of the last page of many of the quires. The
deficiencies in the text are noted in most of the critical editions, Ti-
schendorf, Alford, &c., and, with greater exactness, in Mr Scrivener’s
Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament (Cambridge,
1861, 8vo), p. 97. They are caused by the following mutilations:
A 1, 2,7, Τὶ, 1Β 8 (not entirely), IA, KB, MA 6, 7, 8, ME—NB, NZ, ZA 1, 6
(partly), 7, SE to the end of the volume. Of these gaps A 7 is supplied
by one leaf, KB 1—8 by seven, and MA 6, 7, by one. The Latin supply
is said to be of the 1xth century, the Greek early x1th; Tischendorf
cites it as D***, The fragment of IB 8 which remains (ἃ part of Matt.
xxvi. 65—67, D part of Matt. xxvii. 2) escaped the notice of Kipling.
=A 6 seems to have been mutilated in recent times, as readings are cited
from the lost portion by Wetstein, unless there be some inaccuracy on
his part. On the question of Lugdunensis or Claromontanus see Mr
Scrivener’s note (Plain Introduction, &c. as above, p. 97), but the
matter still remains to be cleared up. Beza’s own account of the dis-
covery, and his letter to the University on presenting the book, are
bound up with the volume. They are printed by Kipling in his Preface.
Other details, more or less full, concerning this remarkable book, which
must always be considered one of the earliest monuments of the ancient
Gallican Church, will be found in almost all the Introductions to the
New Testament, and the Prolegomena to the Various editions.

Nineteen Lectures UPON SOME OF THE ARTICLES OF THE
Cuurcu or Enezanp. By Rozerr Lampert, D.D., Master
of St John’s College, Cambridge.
There are dates in the margin extending from 1707 to 1719, not in chro-
nological order, which probably indicate the periods when each Lecture was
given in the College. The whole is fairly written as if for the press. On
the fly-leaf at the end is Lambert’s name, and a note that 3 MS. books are
for his nephew, Leonard Chappelow.
Lambert became Master of the College in 1727. A copy of his will,
which was proved 21 Feb., 1734-5, is in Baker’s MSS. XXXVI. 263. He
bequeathed all his MSS. and papers in writing to Leonard Chappelow,
Arabic Professor, who was one of his executors.

hand has noted against the place where the addition begins: Nota hic per
modum epilogi recapitulationem hujus belli contra Pompeios (fol. 238 5).
Julius Celsus made a recension of Cesar’s text, and consequently has
been called the author of some of his works in various MSS. See Smith’s

A small quarto, on silky paper (charta bombycina), now con-
taining 243 leaves, but consisting of two MSS. of different ages,
and of different varieties of paper.
I. Contains 92 leaves, of which the latter part (fol. 30 to
the end), on thick cotton paper, belongs to the beginning of the
x1vth century, each page having about 20 lines, written in a neat
and yery contracted hand. The first thirty leaves are on a dif-
ferent paper, and apparently supplied at a later date to make up
a deficiency, and each page contains about 30 lines, neatly written
in a comparatively uncontracted hand of the latter part of the
xvth century. Glosses and selections (in various hands) accom-
pany the text, and the more ancient part contains well-executed
ornamentations. '

φάνους καὶ τῆς τοῦ δράματος ὑποθέσεως. Begins (fol. 1): Ἀριστοφάνης ὁ
κωμωδοποιὸς (Westerm. Biogr. Gr. Min. p. 159); it is not quite com-
plete, and two pages have been left blank to complete it, and to write

afew lines each. One is entitled ‘Tod μακαριωτάτου κυροῦ Μελετίου Ἀλεξ-
avSpeos,’ beginning, ἐκεῖνος ἐστὶν ὃ ἐστίν. The other is headed ‘ ἐξήγησις
τοῦ κυροῦ Μαξίμου, beginning, ἐκεῖνος ἔχει τὴν ὄντως ἀξίαν Os ἄξιος ἐστίν.
At fol. 4 is written in a hand of the xvth or xvith century: κτῆμα
μονῆς τοῦ κυρίου Διονυσίου.
Formerly in the possession of Mead, according to Dobree, then of
Askew, at whose sale (n. 555) the volume was purchased.
This MS. is ‘Cant. 2’ of Dobree, u. s.
2627 Nn. πὶ. 16.
An octavo, on paper, of 178 leaves, consisting of two MSS.
bound together, separately paged by early hands, each page in the
first MS. containing about 10 lines, in the second about 13, fairly
written in hands of the xvth century. Scholia and glosses ac-
company the texts of both MSS., the former of which is in indif-
‘ferent condition. The red ink of the Scholia in both the MSS.
has almost faded away in many places.

Gr. Vol. m1. p. 33).
Collated by Mr Paley for his edition of Hesiod (Cambr. 1861), who
observes (pref. xxvii) that the interlinear glosses are extracts from the
scholia of Moschopulus.
On fol. 2b occurs the following mark of ownership, in an early
hand, Κτῆμα μονῆς τοῦ κυρίου Διονισίου (sic). It came into the posses-
sion of Mead, and was afterwards purchased from Askew’s sale, n. 554.
Nn. rm. 17.
A small quarto, on silky paper (charta bombycina), now
containing 166 leaves, each page containing about 20 lines, con-
sisting of two MSS. bound up together*, neatly written in different
hands, but about the same time. Both MSS. contain contem-
porary glosses and scholia, and slight ornamentations.
A. contains 88 leaves, some of which are in very bad con-
dition, belonging to the xiv th century, and being in fact a con-
tinuation of Nn. τ, 14.
* Originally, in Dobree’s opinion, forming one MS. with Nn. ur. 14, which Porson
assigns to the xivth century. See Dobree, Porson. Aristophan. pref. p.ix. He
remarks its similarity to Nn. 111. 15, § 1; which MS. cannot be earlier than Thomas
Magister. But Butler inclines to put the present MS. earlier. ‘Est seculi xiv, vel
forte etiam xi.’ He says of Nn, 111. 17, § 2, ‘Seculi x1v vel xv,’ which seems too
late.

A small octavo, on parchment, consisting of two distinct MSS.
containing 172 leaves, each page containing about 26 lines, neatly ,
written principally by two hands apparently of the xrvth century.
A few leaves (see fol. 142) seem to be written in a different hand
from either. A few slight ornamentations occur in the MS., much
of which is in indifferent condition.
The first MS. abounds in errors of orthography and accen-

These ‘counsels’ are not all by Ammonas: the sayings of the saints
or abbats Anthony (fol. 77 δ), Silvanus (fol. 76), Nilus and Agatho (fol.

or partly) as one which exists in MS. at Vienna. It has not been pub-
lished in the original. See Smith’s Dict. Gr. and Rom. Biogr. s. υ.
Gerard Vossius, however, in his edition of Ephraim Syrus, has given a
Latin version of these counsels of Ammonas, and of some other ascetic
apophthegms (Vol. u. pp. 499—506. Col. 1603).

One of these letters is addressed to the Monk Theodosius, the other to
Ursenuphius the reader. Both very short. From a note at the end it
appears that they are falsely ascribed to 8. Dionysius, having been written
by Isidore Pelusiota.
